语源

(1)

Middle English gon

中古英语 gon

(2)

from Old English g3n * see gh?-

源自 古英语 g3n *参见 gh?-

用法

Go has long been used to describe the production of nonlinguistic noises, as in The train went “toot.” The cow goes “moo.” In recent years, however, younger speakers have extended this use of go to the report of speech, as in Then he goes, “You think you're real smart, don't you.” For speakers young enough to get away with it, this usage serves a useful purpose in informal spoken narrative as an explicit indicator of a direct quotation, particularly when the speaker wishes to mimic the accent or intonation of the original spoken source. Largely restricted to the “narrative present” used in vivid description, it is highly inappropriate in formal speech or writing.

用法

Go has long been used to describe the production of nonlinguistic noises, as in The train went “toot.” The cow goes “moo.” In recent years, however, younger speakers have extended this use of go to the report of speech, as in Then he goes, “You think you're real smart, don't you.” For speakers young enough to get away with it, this usage serves a useful purpose in informal spoken narrative as an explicit indicator of a direct quotation, particularly when the speaker wishes to mimic the accent or intonation of the original spoken source. Largely restricted to the “narrative present” used in vivid description, it is highly inappropriate in formal speech or writing.
